Jason Lee offers reward for stolen Hopper picture

Actor Jason Lee is offering a $25, 000 reward for the return of a stolen photograph of the late Dennis Hopper.

Lee's black-and-white Polaroid of the iconic Easy Rider actor and director was on display as part of an exhibit in Los Angeles when it was swiped on Saturday night.

Lee's publicist, Nancy Iannios, said on Sunday that an unidentified person grabbed the photo from the wall and ran out the front door of the gallery in the Highland Park neighbourhood.

Iannios said the My Name is Earl star has a sentimental attachment to the picture and will pay $25,000 for its safe return, no questions asked.
